She-Ra was one of my favorite cartoons as a little girl. While I loved shows like He-Man, SuperFriends, Rainbow Brite, etc. She-Ra was a favorite among these because to me she was strong, independent, etc. She could do anything and I wished I could be as strong as she was when I was a little girl. Recently Hulu picked up certain classic Saturday morning cartoons, She- Ra was one of them. So I've been watching them there, but once the dvds come out on January 2011, you can bet I'm buying them. I don't know how long Hulu will have She-Ra on their website, I want to own the dvds so I can watch them anytime.I was born in the 1980s so She-Ra was part of my childhood, even though I'm an adult now, it doesn't mean that I have to forget what was special to me as a kid. I still love watching cartoons. I liked the double life of Adora/She-Ra, and how she handled both of her worlds in an honest way.IMDb mentions that She-Ra had three series but wiki mentions they only had two. I guess we'll know when the complete series comes out on DVD in January 2011.
... View MoreYeah, ol' Lou Schiemer and Filmation did some classic stuff in the 80s.I remember going to the theater to see 'He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword'. It was one of the few movies I actually got to go to in between my early childhood and late adolescence (I think I was grounded from the time I was 10 until I was 18).Heh, interesting memories. The friend I'd seen the movie with was the BIG He-Man fan, I was more of a GI Joe/Transformer fan (at least as far as our respective toy collections were concerned). He was always complaining about She-Ra pulling off ridiculous feats of strength without much effort---I believe in one episode she moves a large celestial body or large building or some such with one hand, whereas in some other episode of He-Man's show it was some sort of face-twisting hernia-inducing task for He-Man to lift Castle Greyskull off its foundations. It was *so* important for us to discuss this stuff! Ah, the bliss of youth, I do miss it.I remember the She-Ra cartoon being a little bit flashier looking than the He-Man one. It used a lot more of that orange-yellow-scintillating light-effect-thing that Filmation made use of a lot in its cartoons, usually for "magic portals" and such. And of course the music had more depth to it. Most Filmation cartoons that I can remember usually had an instrumental version of the theme song over the end credits. Of course in the case of He-Man it was just the opening theme with none of the narration. Not only did She-Ra's end credit sequence involve lyrics but DIFFERENT lyrics and evidently a different song! OK, enough of my rambling. I heard recently She-Ra had a higher budget than He-Man...I'm pretty sure the extra money went into golden-scintillating light...portal...things and the music. ;)
... View MoreI have loved this show and miss it very much, I played with She-ra dolls and my brother played with the He-man dolls together for hours on end, taking over my parents first floor home... It is so sad that it left after 93 episodes, why did it leave? BRING IT BACK! Its so much better than Power Rangers, Pokemon, and all that other stuff... bring it back!
... View MoreThis series really struck a chord within me as a child, and I still have fond memories of watching it. I wish it had never ended, and I would love to buy it on DVD, along with many other cartoons (like He-Man, The Thundercats, and Snorkels.). Everyone should have a childhood filled with great cartoons like this.
